TTFlibrary doesn't convert the fonts to another format. The Amiga font
system is designed so that it can use _any_ outline font format if a
driver is provided, which is what TTFlibrary does.

Intellifont is for managing Agfa Compugraphic or Intellifont format
fonts. It doesn't list or do anything with Type 1 or Truetype fonts.

TTF manager is the equivalent program for TrueType format fonts. In the
future, it might include bitmap font generation, as Intellifont does.

BTW If there was a library for Type 3 fonts, we could have structured colour
fonts.
